Milk Glass

Every word lost its fervor Milk glass on the window sill You won't let the light in Just sit around and fight for your fill Old friends fade into pieces Gone after their postmodern dreams Romance I'm glad turned to ash, fast Thank God for eternity St. Pete screams for a savior Art and beer you know they can't redeem Hollow men with hollow chests Think life's for living like a teen Gotta fight the fight Wipe the scales from the night And look upon the face of someone real Love you say is the end all cure But if it's not pure, then it's a joke Brand yourself with some holy X Not free drugs and sex, they ain't got hope Take his blood for your own deep dark He removes the scars and you come clean Rid yourself of philosophies They won't hold your hand and lead you to the land He's coming home Last night in Ybor city Felt like the last night of the world All this drunken babble Purpose is a show and a girl But it's ok, we're modern kids they said so You're not a kid your 29 Stuck inside that high school dream Of cigarettes and screams Those things will only bleed you dry He said everything is nothing That sentence don't have a start Like three is two and you are blue or karma Don't look at the whole you're just looking at parts This scene's so hocus pocus Pleasure is a parlor trick If you don't stand for something You know you're bound to fall Your knees may be the best place of all Love they say is the end all cure But if it's not pure then it's a joke Brand yourself with some holy X Not free drugs and sex, they ain't got hope Take his blood for your own deep dark He removes the scars and you come clean Rid yourself of philosophies They won't hold your hand, lead you to the land He's coming home Love they swear is a magic word But it's a sad excuse to whore out your heart For anybody or anything who shares a spark Sparkling like a diamond ring It's a pathetic little echo, it's not the love you really need So take those blinders from your eyes And those bars from your mind And quit your walking of the line And be set free
